General Notes. 



Helminthophila chrysoptera.— Mr. J. P. Giraud, Jr., in his 'Birds of 

 Long Island,' published in 1844, says of this bird : "On Long Island this 

 species occurs only in small numbers, and according to my observations, 

 is not an annual visitor." Since the publication of Mr. Giraud's work, I 

 know of no published records of this species. I have myself secured but 

 one specimen. This was a fine male which I killed at Parkville, Kings 

 Co., on May 11, 1893; it was shot from a low limb in the tall woods, 

 where it had apparently just alighted from a more or less extended flight. 



There is a single specimen in the Lawrence collection, a male, col- 

 lected by J. F. Ward, Aug. 15, 1831 . 



Mr. Roosevelt, in the paper previously referred to, says that he has 

 "shot it but once, May 10, 1878." 



Mr. Dutcher has one specimen in his collection, which was presented 

 to him by Mr. John D. Hicks. It is a male, and was killed at Old West- 

 bury, Queens Co., in the spring of 1880.

Notes from Y/estern New York.

Helminthophila chrysoptera. — I observed a singing male of this species 

 at Mertensia, Ontario County, on May 17, 1906; and on June 3, 1906, 

 found another male in song at West River, Yates County, where it is very 

 likely the bird breeds. This warbler is recorded as breeding at Naples, 

 Ontario County. This is the second Yates County record.
